"Well, I lied. I wanted to keep you and call you into the house." Widow Lin nodded.
"Why?" Wu Xiuxiu was puzzled and guessed, "Is there something you can't say in front of my brother? Do you want to tell me in private?"
"You are a smart child." Widow Lin curled the corners of her lips, with a hint of admiration in her eyes.
"I can't say this in front of your eldest brother. What I want to tell you in private is about money and your sister-in-law's work."
Hearing this, Wu Xiuxiu showed a hint of doubt on her face. What was wrong with saying these things in front of her eldest brother?
It’s not like my eldest brother doesn’t know about borrowing money, and about lending money to help my sister-in-law buy a job.
"I heard from your eldest brother that you were going to ask Captain Jiang to borrow money?" Widow Lin suddenly asked.
Wu Xiuxiu hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Yeah." She heard it all, and it was not easy to hide it from her.
"It was your family who asked you to borrow from Captain Jiang, right? How much did they ask you to borrow?" Widow Lin asked again.
"Well, let me borrow 600 yuan." Wu Xiuxiu answered truthfully.
"Oh my God, six hundred yuan, that's too much!" Widow Lin frowned and clicked her lips.
"Xiu Xiu, let me advise you not to borrow so much money from Captain Jiang." Widow Lin pulled Wu Xiu Xiu to sit on the chair and said earnestly.
"Why?" Wu Xiuxiu was a little surprised and asked in confusion.
She couldn't understand why Widow Lin advised her not to borrow so much money from her husband.
"Although you and Captain Jiang have obtained the marriage certificate, you haven't held a wedding yet. It's not good for you to ask him to borrow so much money... I'm afraid he will have some ideas. And I always feel that there is something wrong with the job your sister-in-law wants to buy!" said Widow Lin.
"There's a problem? What problem?" Wu Xiuxiu could understand what Widow Lin said first, but she couldn't understand what she said later. She actually said that there was a problem with the job her sister-in-law wanted to buy.
"You have such a high level of education, you're a high school student, and you're so smart. Haven't you ever thought about such a good job in the supply and marketing cooperative, with so many people vying for it, how could anyone be willing to sell it?" asked Widow Lin.
"Isn't there a saying that goes, 'Standing behind the counter of a supply and marketing cooperative is not worth a job even for the section chief...
The sales clerks behind the counters at the supply and marketing cooperatives only earn a little over 30 yuan a month, but with a lot of subsidies, all added up, they can make more than 50 yuan a month.
But the most important thing is that there is a lot of money to be made. I heard that the supply and marketing cooperatives often have so-called damaged products and defective goods for sale at low prices, and they often have so-called expired food that they don't want.
But in fact, those so-called damaged goods, defective goods, and expired foods are actually good. The people in the supply and marketing cooperatives want to buy them at low prices and eat them for free, so they deliberately deceive the higher-ups. Since those who can work in the supply and marketing cooperatives are all people with connections, they turn a blind eye.
There are many other benefits to the supply and marketing cooperatives... That's why people say that even a section chief would not want to work behind the counter of a supply and marketing cooperative. Who would be willing to do such a good job? If I give it to you, would you be willing to do it?
Although this job is very expensive, costing one thousand yuan, and also requiring food stamps and industrial coupons, it is nothing compared to the benefits of the supply and marketing cooperative, and even a fool would not sell it. "
After listening to Widow Lin's words, Wu Xiuxiu felt that it made sense and nodded twice.
Why didn't she think of what Widow Lin said before? If it was hers, she wouldn't sell such a good job in the supply and marketing cooperative even for 2,000 yuan, let alone 1,000 yuan.
"Your mother brought your sister-in-law to me last night to borrow money. When I knew your sister-in-law wanted to buy a job at the supply and marketing cooperative, I felt something was wrong and told them about it.
But your mother and your sister-in-law wouldn't listen. They were fascinated by the good job in the supply and marketing cooperative, especially your sister-in-law, who couldn't wait to work in the cooperative.
Your sister-in-law said that her family told her about the job sale, and they would not lie to her. I wanted to say a few more words to ask her to be more cautious, but she was still unhappy, so I couldn't say anything more. "Widow Lin sighed.
"Actually, I don't want to lend you the twenty dollars, first of all, because of my family's financial situation, as you know.
